clarentineLast night's word count was something like 1952, which is excellent for me. Took two sittings to accomplish, but the scene just would not quit talking to me, and in the end I was pleased that I'd persevered.
I'm on the ledge about using "my voice scraping my throat like teeth on a bone," but for the moment it's staying.
Thus far today I have 556 new words for the transition into the next chapter. Dunno if there will be more.

Courtesy of the Henrico County Public Library system, I have access to a number of databases of primarily scholarly journals and magazines. I've been using that access today to research karst landscapes. I'm going to have fun with this one; setting is very important to me, and this particular imagined setting is coming clearer in my mind's eye with every photo I see of dolines, ponors, poljes, and karren.
If, when you read this book, you feel like you're in one of these poljes and are checking underfoot for ponors, I've done my job. *g*
